Since 2001, scores of our highest achievers and most admired innovators have been awarded the Parnelli. The award recognizes pioneering, influential professionals and their contributions, honoring both individuals and companies. Much more than just being about the person who gets the great gig and pulls it off flawlessly, the Parnelli is also about moving our industry forward with the same qualities that defined the person for whom it is named.

Named after Rick “Parnelli” O’Brien, an extraordinary production manager and human being, the award is given to those who, like O’Brien, exemplify the “four H's:” Humanity, humility, honesty and humor.
